The potential arrival of Sesko at Arsenal signals a likely departure for Eddie Nketiah.
Despite being a valued squad member, Nketiah has struggled to secure a consistent starting role. His exit seems imminent, as Arsenal looks to revamp their forward line.
Fulham has emerged as the frontrunner to sign Nketiah, placing him high on their list of summer targets. Conversations between the two clubs are ongoing, with Fulham preparing an official offer.
